[ Other - Skin & Body ] Open Question : Why is it so important to stay out of the sun if you have acne scars?

I have heard this so many times and I just thought yeah sure, I'm not planning on going in the sun anyway since it's winter. I live in England btw. I have horrible indented scars all over my cheeks, especially nearer my nose, where large pores are common. I am 14 and have had bad acne since I was about 10 ish, and went to the doctor last summer and now I barely get the occassional little spot. But now I have not only red marks all over my face but scarring. I have seen a visible improvement over the past few months by scrubbing my face every night with st. Ives blemish face scrub, my skin is not sensitive so this is fine - it hasn't dried out or anything. I try to drink a lot of water aswell. So this has been fine, gradually improving, but now I'm going skiing in 2 weeks (in Austria) and from experience know that I will still get a tan with like spf 50. I do want a tan, as I'm so pale on my face! But will it worsen my blemishes and scars? Will a tan disguise my red marks at all? Please help me! Than you xx
